Looking to add some cranks to my arsenal. I mainly use the bandit 200. Any suggestions on color or model? I mainly fish the Potomac, Chic and James river also Lake Anna and other lakes VA.

I've found that 4 basic colors are all I need. Lavender shad, char n white, red craw, and firetiger. I mainly throw norman dd 22, deep little n, and rapala shad raps.

I like the 300 bandit a little better, but you are using one of the best in my opinion...I fish southern NC, northern SC lakes most, and down here I use mostly Bandits, #7 shad raps, and Bomber Fat Frees... We don't have much vegetation in my home lakes, so we are basically cranking around timber, docks and ledges-points. All of these crawl around timber well and the Bandit and the Bomber's cast great...The Shad Rap doesn't cast far, but still catches fish...
I find it's always good to have a good selection of cranks if your going to be fishing them a lot...
So if you primarily use Bandit now, and have a good color selection, definitely go with another brand...I use mostly Bandits, Bombers, and Fat Free Shads...the Fat Frees are some of my favorites because they offer a large variety of sizes, and seem to have that great bass catching action http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthup.gif
Since the Bandits seem to have more of a wider wobble, get a few of the Bombers because they are similar in size, but have a little bit different wobble...it's not a wide wobble or tight, but just right in many cases
I really like Rebel cranks. I am just an amatuer but I love the shad color rebels.
